“Have you entered and explored the springs of the sea
Or [have you] walked in the recesses of the deep?

“Have the gates of death been revealed to you,
Or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?

“Have you understood the expanse of the earth?
Tell Me, if you know all this.

“Where is the [a]way where light dwells?
And as for darkness, where is its place,

And that you may know the paths to its house?
21 
“You [must] know, since you were born then,
And [b]because you are so extremely old!
